Subject: [PATCH] docs/virt-v2v: document libvirt system instance startup

It has frequently tripped us up that on RHEL / Fedora, installing the
|
|
right set of libvirt RPMs (such as the one pulled in by
|
|
"libvirt-daemon-kvm") does not result in an immediately running libvirt
|
|
system instance. Document the need, and the simplest method, for starting
|
|
libvirt up manually.
|
|
|

Thanks: Daniel Berrangé
